Kijoshu is sake brewed with finished sake in place of part of the brewing water, at the last of the three mash additions. The extra alcohol slows the yeast, so more sugar is left and the sake comes out sweet, thick and often yellow to amber. The method was developed in 1973 at the national brewing institute, now NRIB.
Amounts from a sourceNo fixed batch size in the sources used here. The institute's 1976 report (abstract only) sets the amount of sake by the alcohol it brings to the mash water, about 9.5 %.

Kijoshu is sake brewed with finished sake in place of part of the brewing water, at the last of the three mash additions. The extra alcohol slows the yeast, so more sugar is left and the sake comes out sweet, thick and often yellow to amber. The method was developed in 1973 at the national brewing institute, now NRIB. Made in 5 steps over 2 days. The longest step, make koji, takes 2 days (Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association and…) and runs at 30 °C (Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association and…). Aspergillus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (sake yeast), its growth held back by the added alcohol do most of the fermenting.
Ordinary sake uses water for all three mash additions. Kijoshu replaces part of the water at the last addition with finished sake. The extra alcohol slows the yeast, so the sake stays sweet instead of fermenting dry.
Aged kijoshuKept for years, so it turns amber; a sub-type the NRIB guide names.
Namazake kijoshuUnpasteurised; also named by the NRIB guide.
Safety
Namazake kijoshu, a sub-type the NRIB guide names, is unpasteurised. The guide says namazake deteriorates quickly and should be refrigerated at no more than 5 °C.
The Engishiki (927) records shiori, a mixing method that used sake instead of water. The national brewing institute developed modern kijoshu in 1973, and Enoki Shuzo in Hiroshima began producing it in 1974, the first brewery in Japan to do so. The name is a trademark of the Kijoshu Association, so non-members label similar sake with other names.
